Basic realism minimod sometime after BF2 release?

[EvilCookie]

Hello PR team

Seeing as there are many realism fans in the BF2 community, I'm wondering if you guys would like to do a realism minimod. I ask this because I feel that once BF2 hits retail its going to be fun for the first couple of months. Though sooner or later the arcadiness gamestyle is going to take its toll on the fun factor for us. I was wondering if you guys would be interested in making a minimod that changes the basic weapon ballistics, ammo load outs, etc. You know, just a little teaser your fans can play around with so they do not have to wait 6-8 months before a full complete beta heads out with new vehicles, armies and the likes. Anyways, what do you guys on the team think? Same questions goes to the PR fans, voice your opinions.

Thanks.

Well i wouldnt mind a minimod like that, the sooner the better

An 'insta quick' kinda mod that is just a bunch of code tweaks would be nice.

Any devs want to chime in about this?

This question, as well as many presented in the past, use the dev tools as a lynchpin for the answer. It's very hard to provide a schedule or a definitive answer without having had a chance to experiment with the mod tools.

A mini-mod is a great idea to satiate the reality community's hunger for realism in BF2 (I'm right there with ya'), however, we would have to consider whether or not the time spent on developing a mini-mod will impact our overall workflow and schedule. If we release it, prior to the mod's first public release, would it properly reflect the final product?

There's quite a bit to consider, so at this point the best answer I can provide is a "We'll see." I am certain that once we are able to get our hands on the mod tools, we will be able to talk about your idea in greater detail.

I hope that sheds some light on the issue for you.

It did Dre. Thank you for your informative post. "We'll see" soon enough I suppose

To clarify on this position, our first release will be 0.1 which will include the British Military and many realism alterations. A minimod, although a good idea, will not be released for the reasons Dre mentioned above.

hope you guy will get a good balance between fun and good realism... many realistic ideas are cool but no practiable in a game, specially on a public server.

problem is that you need a public community, before you can enter the clancommunitys... which play with tactics...



is here a list with the realism feature of this mod? we try out some more realistiv ideas in OPK on BFV - was a desaster.

but good on BF2 is, that there are more realistiv feature, like running, ironsights.

i played bf2, and it´s less arcade then BF42/BFV.

ive seen the jump height and can you tell us if they changed the m203 killing t72s and btr80s

[keef_haggerd]

maybe just a minimod for the community? the people that KNOW this isnt the final product?


or maybe a server for the beta testers? or something along those lines.

Well as Dre implied we'd prefer to focus all our efforts on getting a .1 release out ASAP. We believe in the long run that would be the best thing to do, even if it means a slightly longer wait for a realistic BF2 experience in the beginning.

[BrokenArrow]

Yeah, go straight for the main realease of the mod, no need to back that up more releasing a mini.

[snipurs]

i would only want pr to do a mini if it the main project won't suffer.
